Yep, there's a pressure switch. (I had to look it up myself) See TM 9-2320-361-20 page 2-132 and 2-133 for the electrical troubleshooting procedure and diagram.

I suggest checking the wires/connector behind the dash if you haven't already done so. Maybe its just loose. Lately on my M109A3 I've actually been pressurizing the system from my 'shop compressor' before I start it to avoid hearing the buzzer. I'm doing this so I can listen to the starter...

Up heyah in the Northeast most homes have 275 gallons of diesel sitting in their basements, a lot of people double up with two tanks. Of course I'm talking about dyed No.2 home heating oil for furnaces and boilers. Sludge is a common problem due to condensation building up in the tank, usually...

I can't find anywhere in the memo or other state statutes that says this law change only applies to modified exhaust systems. I like Doghead's suggestion, but I think the opinion from the state will be a turbo muffler does not prevent "excessive noise." Or in my case, a C turbo that produces...

Just a heads up, effective today in Maine: http://maine.gov/dps/msp/licenses/documents/Vehicle%20Inspections/ExhaustlawChanges2010.pdf This is really fallout from motorcycle operators with straight pipes, but I imagine it applies to M35A2 or M109A3 owners like myself. Installing a muffler is...

Its my understanding M35A2s/109A3s were first issued with non-turbo LD-465s which would have the thin exhaust pipes. And that if it were 'not a A2' then there would not be a side exhaust at all?

Checkout this picture reported to be from Phu-Loi in 1970. Fender pipe, factory painted registration number, dropside bed, upper placed headlights, fresh 24087 paint under the road dust, is it a new M35A2? Original link here, note contains some hippy and religious material.

From a NY Times article:

I had fun researching this one (new to me). Looks like you have a "code G" pump without the FDC. Basically you'd need to remove the cover and do your adjustments there, see the following for more info: TM 9-2910-226-34 page 3-105...

There's a clutch return spring that should be there.

I plow with a 93' 2-Door Yukon 1/2 ton, mostly just 450' of driveway. I do like the maneuverability of a short wheelbase. The only time I use ballast is when my wife is riding along side me. :D I could be tempted to move "the Boss" to a M1009 if the opportunity comes my way, but I'm also...

My house is on the old family farm and it sits 400 feet from the road but it does get noticed. One guy approached my Mom about it and she lives on the other side of town! Since it's so gosh darn loud and has the whistling turbo I'm pretty self conscious about driving it past the neighbors...

My first stick is my deuce, part of the reason I bought it is I wanted a cheap vehicle to learn on. So far so good, be slow but deliberate when driving. Most of my early up-shifting stalls was related to not being deliberate enough with the accelerator. My wife comes out to watch every time...

Yep, I guess I must "talk about her in my sleep." :D

My wife named the M109A3 "Jolene."

Check the wires going into the red starter button for a kinked or twisted wire. Its easy to remove the button from the dashboard to straighten out any kinks.

The passenger-side bench seat is folded down, that's the back of the seat you see.

I've dubbed around with it, it does work. I removed the rust from a GMC trailer hitch in a 35 gallon trash can. You'll want a non-electronic battery charger or some people are using welders. I didn't have either so I was using a 12 volt jumper battery connected to a electronic battery charger...

Found a surprise when I was working to remove bad rivets from the exterior rub-runner and fix the rust underneath. I was hoping to grind down the rivets from the inside of the wall, this'll add a degree of difficulty.aua Ah well, I guess the truck would be in worse shape if it wasn't...
